"Run Little Rabbit" Redesign!

I redrew some old 2022 art and decided to do some redesigning and renaming. I made them in the form of chibi/avatar sprites!

Mr. Wolf -> Vanity Sang (Vanity = excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievement, Le Sang = French word for Blood, Gore, etc..)

Human!Fluffy -> Lally Lapine (Lally = To Chatter, Lapine = French word for Rabbit
